Hospital Playlist

Let me start by saying this you can't essentially comsider this as a review this is more like my perspective on it.First of all let me start by saying this hospital playlist is not one of those typical medical dramas where there is one genius doctor,lots of blood,complicated cases and miraculous recoveries. It inclines more to the somewhat realistic portrayal of medical cases,more importantly it focuses on the life of doctors. It's about friendship, trust and love . The patients in this drama actually die unlike other dramas,which makes this different.The characters are so likeable that you cannot find those evil superiors or fellow doctors who have jealousy over your talent and that's exactly what makes this drama standout from the pool of typical medical dramas. The story is still to unveil more but you will fall in love with each characters. Although the dramas has 5 main leads the writers succeeded in making each character unique and you will fall in love with them. Whether its goofy ik jun or laid back seok hyung each will give some lessons about your life. The stories of patients and struggles of doctors gave this drama richness. The characterization in this drama is so good that you end up remembering each and every character. Nobody is a passerby every body has something to do with the plot that's what makes this drama really likeable .Now coming to acting the main leads are absolutely wonderful. Each of them made their character memorable. The thanos of the department jun wan seems to be a person who don't care but he deeply cares for his patients and residents.i am especially curious about jun Wan's love line with ik sun and how this will bring about changes in his relation with ik jun. Goofy ik jun is all over the place and his character makes this drama more enjoyable. Ghost song hwa is the pillar in this that everyone can rely on. I am rooting for song hwa nad ik jun in next season may my ship sail . An Jung made a 360 degree turn from being a God's child to geoul 's man . Budha speak hyung characterization is most interesting as he is the one with most problematic past ,present and most likely future. A special shout out to army buddies geoyul and min ha for their persistence and courage .May min ha also gets her man.coming to ost's liked the song which they sing for rosa and jung so more but all of the songs are apt for situations. I hope the other side character has more important role in next season especially the painter twins. The child actors in this drama are adorable 😍. Since I already watched this drama twice ,I will give rewatch value as 10as I may rewatch it again. In conclusion hospital playlist is my favorite all time kdrama. I don't want to say it is flawless. There may be some medical errors as I am not well versed with hospital settings I will avoid it and i don't care much about . Hospital playlist has it's own flaws but it is beautiful, heartwarming and full of life that make you want to live a better life and make good friends for life. I will reccomend this everyone as it is healing. At last I would like to say please watch at least 4 episodes before dropping this drama,don't miss out a gem. With that i will conclude my pointless review happy watching !!!!

A feel good drama

Definitely a must watch drama. Hospital Playlist is a blend of heartfelt drama, humor, and great music.One of the standout aspects of Hospital Playlist is how it portrays a work environment in a hospital that feels positive and healthy, which is pretty refreshing considering how hospital dramas usually focus on high-stress, chaotic environments.

Another non-toxic element is the mentorship between senior and junior staff. Instead of being belittled or overburdened, the younger doctors in the hospital receive support and guidance. For example, Ik-jun often takes the time to teach and listen to his colleagues, fostering a nurturing environment where personal growth is encouraged.

Also not to forget the highlight of the show, the friendships between the five main doctors—Ik-jun, Seok-hyeong, Jeong-won, Joo-hyun, and Young-joon—create a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect that sets the tone for the whole hospital environment.

If you're a medical student, you need to watch this drama,it will keepyoumotivated for sure or atleast you'll good for sure!!! Highly recommended 👌

This review might offend a few ..i know, but here's my thoughts

Wow, what a show. No plot, super cringy, dry as dust, and not even accidentally funny infact inclined towards annoying . I swear every episode was on repeat: surgery, hang out with the same group of friends, eat the same food, get called for another surgery, sing karaoke like it’s a music class no one asked for, more surgery, then someone dies out of nowhere. Groundbreaking stuff, really. Story? Couldn’t find one if I used GPS. One of the Worst k-drama I’ve ever sat through. Music? Not even one decent song—just ten minutes of off-key singing in every episode. Hilarious? Nope. Just annoying.leads performance? Questionable not plot was so lame you can't really blame them .
But seriouly I don’t get the hype. Why does this have good reviews? I feel like I am being generous to give it a 1.5 star doesn't deserve even a zero to begin with . There is hardly any chemistry in the couple infact all character seem flat and unlikeable , just Boring beyond words. not worthy of my time.

Let's state the obvious first, among a lot of incredible things in this drama, the cast stands out from the get-go. There's nothing more to explain about the cast; their acting was impeccable and I don't think anyone else from the list of actors/actresses can be replaced.

All of the music used in this drama was nice! I think most of the songs were covered, but nonetheless suited the drama best. I'd say even non-watchers of this drama would stumble upon the songs from this drama in youtube and add them to their playlists. So good in fact that one song sang by Jeon Mi Do managed to top the charts for a short moment at a time when IU, Taeyeon, Chungha, BOL4, and other musicians released comeback songs.

And lastly, the most important part, the story. The story was superb! I just want to clear things out, this is a light drama. Don't expect heavy episodes where you feel suffocated, and that's a good thing. I personally think that friendship-comedy dramas are arguably the best genre combinations out there. I just felt a bit weird that there was barely any turmoil and strife in the drama --mostly because I haven't watched enough dramas to watch something similar to this. The story was light but quite impactful, especially during times like this where medical workers hold a lot more responsibility than they usually do (COVID-19). You'll appreciate them more and get a taste of how medical workers sacrifice so much to live a life of saving people.

Honestly, this drama was just so nice and heartwarming. I actually cried a bit which usually entails that I watched a masterpiece. But the strange thing is, I didn't cry from something painful; I cried from how warm the story was -- which says a lot. Overall, I would definitely recommend this drama. The worst thing about this drama is that you'd have to wait a year for season 2 upon finishing the drama on May 28, 2020 ㅠㅠ ㅠㅠ ㅠㅠ

(One thing's for certain, Jo Jung Suk has solidified his spot as my all-time favorite actor after this drama <3)

DIFFERENT and UNIQUE

I have seen at least three Hospital themed K-drama and I can say that this gives viewers a very balanced vibe when watching each episode. It still gives you a depiction of Hospital life and reality (I may be wrong in my assumption) yet has a twist that takes you with the characters as they shrug off and unwind from the burdens and stress their roles in the hospital. Music appeals to all and has a healing effect regardless of your background, experience and personality. Really good option to spice up the drama and present uniqueness.

What I like most about this drama is that they really played the instruments and sang in all the band meeting they had. Unlike other drama and characters, some are a quick shot or blurry image of them playing the instrument. Each instruments assigned to the characters suits them well. Oh, the repertoire....so good that I have it in my playlist (even though I rely heavily on subtitles). The OST is superb....no bad apple!

Another thing I like about this drama, is that each character has a different take on their role as doctors. Whilst some may be perceived lacking with passion -- just the same as dedicated to the profession and patients. The various scenarios presented in the hospital scenes gives viewers an opportunity to relate with their own experience or even understand what others' predicament may be.

Romantic aspect of the drama is presented in a well-balanced manner, without having to dilute the theme (hospital, music and relationships).

I can't wait for the next season!

I love this drama.

My heart warming to see how interaction between all character. I really love how they're caring each other, how they're grow up together.

The story-line is good overall, but so many questions until the last episode, I'm very disappointed how they're just give us 12 episode, I'm need more, next year is too long.

As always they're veteran! The acting is soo goooddd! I love how Jeon Mido acting like she can't singing, honestly she's best singer.

THE OST TOTALLY LIT! Drama version or other artist version I love it, they're make us love the ost, not just the background of the drama, but I'm totally enjoyed all the ost.

I will rewatch it if I miss them, next year please come faster!

In Shin WonHo PD and writer Lee WooJung we trust

I've been looking forward to this since Shin Wonho PD announced the series in 2019. I've loved all of his dramas; Prison Playbook remains as one of my best life dramas and is a drama I re-watch at least once a year. I knew this drama would be the same because it is Shin Wonho PD and writer Lee Woojung after all.

And they delivered. Hospital Playlist was a humane, heartwarming, beautiful drama about the life of people in the medical field. The friendship, the growth, the bond they forged through the years reflect beautifully through the screen because the cast were great actors and the script was beautiful to begin with. It's so easy to cry with their sorrows, laugh with their foolishness, and be happy with their successes because the bond is so organic that you will readily root for all of them.

One of the things I've always loved with Shin Wonho PD's shows were the cameos and this series didn't fail to give me the nostalgia and warmth that all those previous characters gave me. Reply 1994? We got Go Ara still the strong independent woman and Kim SungKyun! Reply 1988? We got Choi MooSung and Kim SunYoung still happily married! Prison Playbook? My mans Kim SungCheol selling insurance and Jung Min-sung still being the family man who will do everything for the people he loves! And our favorite father? Sung DongIl comes back as a priest I am wheezing.

All in all, this show delivered and I will be looking forward to season 2! Now I'm off to re-watching NJTTW because of that mini-crossover lol

I've always been a fan of the team behind the Reply series and Prison Playbook. Shin PD and Writer Lee is THE dream team. They've made characters which both relatable and have the natural relationships with other characters. They are like people from your neighborhood you want to be friends with.

Whoever casted the actors should be given a pay raise, to be honest. It felt like the characters were written for the actors. I could not imagine any other actor who would perfectly convey the emotions and story of the characters so well. The relationship between the group of friends would be the envy of many. Each of the main leads could hold their own.
Lee Ik Jun is that crazy genius of a doctor and a solo father. Ahn Jung Won is a doctor who defied his catholic family to become a doctor. Kim Jun Wan is that arrogant, doctor. Yang Suk Hyung is that mama's boy but a very empathic doctor. Chae Song Hwa is the glue that holds their group. Everyone had their story to tell and I liked the fact that it was more of a synergy of stories rather than who's story is better.

Also, I love the scenes where they were practicing as a band. Thus, the name "Hospital Playlist". It's so funny to see the legend of a theatre actress Jeon Mi Do to act like a tone deaf vocalist. She is that good. And the time they invested to learn all the songs to make it as authentic as it ought to be is admirable. Especially the part where they practiced Canon Rock. That was hard but they pulled it off. But I think my favorite performance would be the song "Met You By Chance" which by the way is not included in the physical album. WHY??? Aloha will always have a special place in my heart. Them singing it in karaoke is reminiscent of how me and my friends sing karaoke. This is why their friendship is so convincing. They definitely had the friendship chemistry down to a T. Oh, and I especially love that Aloha is winning in the charts.

Can we just talk about the chemistry between Ik Jun and his son, Woo Ju? It's tooooo cute. They have the perfect chemistry. I really can't wait for the second season. 12 episodes is to short for me. I need more!
